What are you Thankful for???

Ever since we were little we were taught the story of the pilgrims and Indians with the big harvest feast. Lately, well until yesterday, I hadn't heard the story. So i would like to tell the story and remind everyone of the wondrous time with family. 

When the settlers came to america, food was scarce until the settlers me the Indians. The Indians taught the settlers how to farm and harvest their own food so that there would be food thought the winter. With a lot of hard work during the spring, summer and beginning of fall, there was a plethora of food for the settlers thought the winter and the settlers wanted to celebrate. The settler women cook things like turkey, cranberry sauce, yams, potato with gravy and pumpkin were very plentiful. Then, the men were outside finishing the collecting of the crops. When the food was cooked and the crops finished, the settlers invited the Indians to sit down and share a celebratory meal with them. They gave thanks to the Indians and mother nature for the food they were eating and the food for the winter. Hence, Thanksgiving. 

Over the years there have been many cultures move to america with their own traditions and the one that mainly became apart of the culture of everyone is thanksgiving. I learned that every holiday, there are always gifts being given and with thanksgiving, mother nature is giving us the gift of a good harvest season. 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!

Granny Square T-Shirt Crocheted Bag with a jean lining and one pockets

I really enjoyed making this purse because it was made with T-Shirts and jeans. This bag can be used as a messenger style bag or a purse with a short handle. To make it have a shorter handle, the gaps in the bag come in handy. you slip part of the strap through one of the holes until you get the length that you want and the tightness of the holes keeps the strap there. I used a white t-shirt, a yellow shirt and dark blue and then light wash blue jeans. 


My grandma taught me how to crochet when I was little. This was interesting and frustrating because she is left handed and I am right handed. The granny square was good for me to learn because it looks the right way on either side because as you do the rounds, you are turning it. From learning how to crochet, this is one of the easier ones to make because I crochet backwards and then turn the stuff around. 


The front and back sides are made with a granny square with a pattern of three rows of dark blue, two rows of yellow and one gray row. Then the strap is white with a stitch that allowed there to be evenly spaced holes. The body of the bag is 10 inches by 10 inches. Then the strap of the bag is 46 inches long and roughly 1 inch wide. Then the width of the bag is roughly 1 inch. The pockets are divided into 2 parts.
